I recomend keeping the males away from the females when the female becomes pregnant and has the babies, as the male will most likely harm or kill the babies, most likely out of jelousy or accident, they do not have the motherly instinct. So it is best to sepperate them.

THE MALE AND FEMALE RABBIT SHOULD ONLY BE TOGETHER LONG ENOUGH TO BREED! Every rabbit should have it's own cage -or space- so to speak.
It is not recommended to breed a rabbit while she is nursing her babies as this can put the mother and babies at risk. The mother rabbit's attention and energy should be focused on caring for her current litter before considering breeding her again. It is best to wait until the current litter is weaned before breeding the mother rabbit.
Ensure the mother rabbit has a secure and quiet space with nesting materials for her and the babies. Provide fresh water and a balanced diet to support her during this critical time. Monitor the babies closely to ensure they are nursing and gaining weight properly.
The mother rabbit will likely return periodically to nurse and care for her babies. It's important not to disturb the nest as this may lead the mother to abandon her babies. The babies can survive without their mother for short periods as long as they are kept warm and dry.
A father rabbit is typically referred to as a "buck." In the context of rabbit breeding, a buck is the male rabbit responsible for mating with the female rabbit, known as a "doe," to produce offspring. The term "buck" is commonly used in rabbit husbandry and is also used informally to refer to male rabbits in general.
The role of the father in rabbit breeding is to mate with the female rabbit to fertilize her eggs. Once the mating is successful, the father's genetic material will combine with the mother's to determine the characteristics of the offspring. After mating, the father's involvement in the breeding process is typically completed, as the mother will carry and care for the litter of kits.
Yes, The father rabbit plays no role in raising babies. The mother and babies are on their own.
If a mother rabbit feels there is danger for her babies, she kills them. :(
Yes, you MUST have a female and a male rabbit who have mated in order to have babies. same as humans, you mother didn't have you with out your father
no
The mother and the babies will be perfectly fine.
Until the babies are grown enough to leave the mother and separated into other cages. If you reintroduce the father he may get jealous of the attention the mother is giving to the babies and hurt the babies or kill them because he isn't getting the attention. Also, if you reintroduce the father when the babies are grown, the father might mate with the mother AND the females of the litter and then OOPS... more babies!
A mother rabbit can have two litters of bunnies at the same time I would suggest removing the father from the cage to prevent that from happening
is it safe keeping father with its one month old pet rabbit babies
4-9 at a time
no
yes, if you don't then the dadie rabbit will kill the litter
No, it'll be possible for the female rabbit to become pregnant again 12 hours after giving birth to her litter. Unless you want even more rabbits a month later... bad idea.
